– Anthony Joshua is billed to defend his titles against Kubrat Pulev on December 12
– Andy Ruiz’ ex-trainer Robles has disclosed that Joshua is vulnerable on his right hand
– Recall that Andy Ruiz handed Joshua his only defeat in professional boxing
Manny Robles masterminded Anthony Joshua’s only professional career loss in boxing having trained Andy Ruiz to defeat the British-Nigerian boxer by TKO on June 1, 2019 in New York.
Referee stopped the fight in the seventh round as the Mexican descent gained all of Joshua’s four heavyweight titles – WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO.
Although Joshua later defeated Ruiz following a re-match on December 7, 2019 via unanimous decision to reclaim the unified heavyweight titles.
However, Joshua is billed to fight Bulgarian sensation Kubrat Pulev on December 12, 2020 – and ahead of the much anticipated bout, Manny Robles who trained Ruiz during his first fight against Joshua claims the Brit is vulnerable on his right hand.

Speaking to Marc Gatford via the MyBettingSites.co.uk , Robles said:
He said:
“The right hand. If you time the right hand properly and jab to the chest, jab to the body and come over with the right hand, that’s where I feel Joshua is vulnerable.
“You saw that in the Povetkin fight who landed the right hand. Most fighters that have been able to hurt Joshua – it’s been the right hand. If you don’t work on keeping that left hand up, or getting away from the right hand, the same thing is going to continue to happen.
“Pulev is not a walk in a park, he’s an experienced fighter. He is definitely the type of fighter that gives Joshua a run for his money.
“Pulev doesn’t have the quickness Andy has, but if they study him, break him down, and come up with a good game plan he could be effective.”
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian famous DJ Cuppy has spoken about her relationship with two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola popularly known as DJ Cuppy is the daughter of Nigerian billionaire and businessman Femi Otedola.
She has been spotted with Joshua on several occasions and rumour has it that the two might be in a relationship more than friendship.
According to her, the boxing heavyweight champion would one day make a good husband when he eventually decides to settle down.
